Player News
Everth Cabrera could miss series against Giants
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:24 am ET) Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera could miss the team's entire three-game series against the Giants, MLB.com reports. He will be re-evaluated after a few days of rest to determine whether a trip to the disabled list is warranted.

"We're going to keep an eye on him for a few days," manager Bud Black said Monday. "We didn't want to be too quick to pull the trigger on the disabled list just yet."

Cabrera suffered the injury during a stolen base attempt Sunday and received treatment for the hamstring Monday.

"It's better to miss two or three games here and come back as quick as I can," Cabrera told MLB.com. "... I feel all right. I feel I can play but don't want to play at 50 percent. They said we will give it a couple of days and see how I feel."

Recent acquisition Pedro Ciriaco drew the start at shortstop in Monday's series opener against the Giants.


Darwin Barney homers in loss
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:08 am ET) Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney hit his third home run of the season in his team's 5-2 loss to the Cardinals Monday night.

It was Barney's first home run of June after hitting one home run a piece in April and May, and he extended his hitting streak to six games with the 1-for-4 performance. Barney has hit .214 in 196 at-bats.


Brandon Barnes swipes two bags on three-hit night
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:07 am ET) Astros outfielder Brandon Barnes had a three-hit night in a 4-2 loss to Chicago Monday. Barnes went 3 for 5 with a run scored. 

All three of his hits were singles and he turned that into two stolen bases. Barnes now has six steals on the season. He is batting .284 for Houston. 

The 27-year-old has gone 5 for 12 over his last three games. He's been caught stealing five times. 


Edward Mujica gives up homer in 20th save
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:06 am ET) Cardinals closer Edward Mujica recorded four outs to earn his 20th save of the year Monday against the Cubs, though he surrendered his fourth home run of the season with two outs in the ninth before recording the final out.

Mujica had pitched eight straight scoreless outings before giving up the home run Monday, and he remains perfect in save opportunities this season. Only Jason Grilli has saved more games without blowing one opportunity.


Jason Castro nets two RBI doubles
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:05 am ET) Astros catcher Jason Castro recorded two doubles Monday during a 4-2 loss to the White Sox. Castro drove in both of Houston's runs. 

His first-inning double drove in Jose Altuve and his third-inning double scored Brandon Barnes. 

Castro finished 2 for 4 and is batting .274 with 25 RBI. He's recorded at least one hit in four straight games and is 7 for 15 over that span with three doubles, three runs scored, two homers and five RBI. 


Dayan Viciedo comes through with bases loaded
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:03 am ET) White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo produced in a big way Monday night in Houston. Viciedo cleared the bases in the decisive, four-run sixth inning with a triple. 

The three-run triple gave Viciedo more RBI in one swing than he had in his previous 18 games, CSN Chicago reports. 

Viciedo finished 1 for 4 and is batting .223 on the year with 18 RBI. The 24-year-old has just two hits over his last four games, but they are both triples. 


Travis Wood takes third straight loss
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:02 am ET) Cubs starting pitcher Travis Wood took his third straight loss Monday against the Cardinals, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and no walks in seven innings while striking out four.

Wood's no-walk effort was his first of the year, and his quality start was his fourth straight, but it wasn't enough to avoid slipping to 5-6. Wood takes a 2.74 ERA into Saturday's start against the Astros.


Alex Rios keeps producing
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/17/2013) White Sox outfielder Alex Rios continued to produce Monday during a win at Houston. Rios picked up two hits and a stolen base in the game. 

He went 2 for 4 with a double and stole his 11th base. Rios is batting .288. 

The 32-year-old has been highly productive this year with 11 homers, 33 RBI and 36 runs scored. He's among the top 10 in the American League with his 11 steals. 


Bud Norris has one bad inning in defeat
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/17/2013) Astros starter Bud Norris was pitching extremely well Monday night at home against Chicago. That is until the sixth inning.

Norris gave up an RBI single to Paul Konerko and then allowed a bases-clearing triple to Dayan Viciedo, as the White Sox plated four runs in the sixth. Norris finished the six innings but took the loss to fall to 5-7 on the season.

He gave up four earned runs on eight hits and no walks with four strikeouts over his six frames. He threw 99 pitches and his ERA is 3.64 following the loss.

Norris has lost three straight outings but had quality starts in his previous two. He makes his next start Saturday in Chicago against the Cubs.


A.J. Pierzynski homers in win
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/17/2013) Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski went deep in the second inning of Monday's win over the Athletics. Pierzynski's sixth homer of the season was a two-run shot that put the Rangers up 2-0 en route to an 8-7 win. 

Pierzynski went 2 for 3 with a walk. He added his eighth double and scored twice. He drove in three runs and is batting .305 with 20 RBI on the year. 

He has gone 4 for 7 in his last two contests to get back over .300. He'd gone 1 for 12 over a three-game stretch before his bat woke up Sunday against Toronto and continued to hit Monday.
